Publishing Race Results Before the race starts, ensure that all riders who register are registered in the Orbits database and that the database contains all the requisite data: • bib number • transponder number • race license number • first and last name • team • category Click on the Processing tab. In the Select a run or merge column on the middle of the page, click on the run you want to publish. Right click in the big box on the lower right. Select and click on Choose columns. The column settings dialogue box appears. Check off the columns you would like to include on the results. Click Close. You can reorder columns by clicking on their headers and dragging them to where you want. You can also resize them by clicking on the boundary lines and dragging them. Under Publish tasks in the left hand column select click on export results to file. In the Export pop-up window, click on the Browse button. Navigate to the place where you want to save the file and give the file a name. Click on the down arrow beside the save as type dialogue
box. Selecting .csv will create a file that you can edit
in Excel. Selecting .html will create a
file that you cannot edit, unless you know how, but that you can put up on
the web. If editing is not necessary, the second option is preferable as it
gives a nicer, more official-looking result.
Protocol for national level events is to generate a separate .pdf file
for each race rather than list all races together on one spreadsheet. The results for the different races are
accessed from an .html index file, which can be easily generated in Word. Just make a list of all the races,
highlight each one, hit ctrl+k, navigate to the name for the .html file for
that race, click on it, and click OK.
After you have done this for each race, choose the option to save the
Word file as a web page. Click save. Click the current selected columns radio button. Click next. If you wish, choose the option to open the newly created file. Click finish. Repeat for each race. Note that publishing intermediate results for points races will require going back and forth between the timing tab and the processing tab. Move to the timing tab to define and produce results for the first section of the race (see points races), then go to the publishing tab to publish. Then move back to the timing tab to define and produce results for the second section, and so on. |
